Birds in my garden

My feathered visitors

By Janet Penn

I have lots of birds visiting my garden. Blackbirds, Robins, Blues Tits, Great Tits, Goldfinches, Starlings, Magpies, Doves, Pidgeons, Crows and Sparrows. But it is very difficult to get pictures of birds when you have a dog and he wants to know what is going on.

I suddenly noticed something on a roof nearby, not realising at first that it was a Heron. Hunted for my camera hoping it would not vanish. But luck was with me. 2008
